"The Light of Io (the name of the core star) is one of the most valuable trophies my ancestors obtained from the Orc Khan. It is part of the outstanding achievements of the Diamond royal family and also symbolizes the royal majesty and imperial force. , so it is decorated in the Hall of Holy Emblem."
After knowing that his fusion heart had exploded, Israel looked sad: "Even if Eagle sent the agent of the God of Life to perform a healing ceremony for me, I just lent it out."
Since he was indeed in the wrong, Joshua cautiously kept silent at this time and did not say much. The Emperor returned to normal after feeling a little emotional.
"That said, I also know that if something like this is lent out, it's almost impossible to get it back unharmed."
Israel shook his head and said in a very pityful tone: "But if it was damaged by the Church of the Seven Gods, I would have an excuse to ask for more compensation, but in the end it was you who blew it up for your own safety... whatever. ,that's all."
His Majesty the Emperor knew that facing the almost endless army of demon-blood dragons coming across the border, the group of people in the abyss did not actually have many choices. Detonating the Molten Star was inevitable. Israel, as the ruler of the empire, The heart is not so small, and it will feel unhappy for something external to the body. The emotion just now was more of a gesture than a trace of genuine pity for this historic family heirloom.
Joshua has this qualification.
Having said that, there is no need to say anything more. After confirming that the warrior is in good condition, Israel prepares to leave the underground fortress. The mad dragon army has not yet retreated. He now wants to return to the center of the Holy Mountain to continue with Eagle and the natural teacher. Three legendary dragons faced off against each other. Although the opponent's opponent lacked the killing weapon of the Ember Earth Sword, it was still extremely dangerous.
And just before leaving, he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, there's this."
Holding a lance in one hand, Israel broke open the space with the other. The fragments of the broken world surrounded his arms. Then he pulled something from the other side of the space and threw it in front of Joshua and the others. There was a strange expression on Israel's face: "This should be your trophy. Although he took the initiative to find the Holy Mountain himself, both Eagle and I think it is better to leave it to you."
After finishing speaking, the legendary warrior stepped away, the surrounding space shattered, the blue door of time and space opened, and the whole person disappeared.
Looking away from the back of the ruler of the empire as he walked away carelessly, Joshua lowered his head and looked at the ground.
A pale-faced 'elf' with blue hair was slowly standing up from the ground covered with broken wood chips. His expression was originally a bit at a loss, but now he understood his current situation.
This elf, like all other elves, has a delicate and handsome face, and a pair of light blue eyes like the sky, but if you look closely, you can see that they are the vertical pupils of a dragon. He looked up at the warrior, forced a smile on his face, and then nodded softly: "Ah, hello..."
It sounded like I was about to cry.
"Hey, isn't this the blue dragon that we chopped half to death?"
"Yes, sister, he is not dead yet?"
After the Shenji siblings saw each other, they discussed in a low voice, but the sound was so clear that Heidu raised his head and glanced at Lan Long after hearing it, his eyes full of curiosity.
"Hello, Surarno." He also nodded. The warrior touched the heads of Hotaru and Rin beside him, silenced them, and said, "So, you have completely surrendered?"
At a glance, Joshua could distinguish the aura and characteristics of the other person. This blue-haired elf was obviously the human form of the previous blue dragon Sularno. Not only Hotaru and Rin could also tell that he was in his previous life. I've seen it a few times. Blue dragons who like freedom will occasionally descend from the sky for certain reasons and transform into human forms to travel on the Big Hand Continent. Their favorite appearance is this kind of elf bard, singing about what they have seen in the sky in front of everyone.
Suralno naturally surrendered completely - because of Firefly and Rin, he was seriously injured and could not be cured. There was no one in the Mad Dragon Legion who could use the holy ritual level healing ability. In order not to die so unjustly, the blue dragon could only Take the initiative to find the temple in the defense line of the Holy Mountain, reveal your identity and surrender.
[Wind Rider] Suralno's name is also well-known in the Holy Mountain. After several powerful people overcame him and captured him in an underground prison, the priests also confirmed that the opponent was captured by Joshua. He was wounded and had no choice but to surrender. They stopped the bleeding of the blue dragon's wounds and imprisoned him in prison to wait for orders from the higher level. After all, this was a giant dragon with the ultimate intention. Whether it was to kill him or convert it into combat power on his own side, it was not a decision that they could make at this level. .
Now it seems that Joshua found that the decision-making power was probably left in his own hands.
So he looked at the blue dragon, but his extremely calm gaze made the other person tremble.
Sularno's surrender was not surprising. Apart from his injuries, it was impossible for him to return to the Five-Colored Dragon's camp due to his betrayal. Although the blue dragon does not know the location of Evian, all the dragons will think that he leaked the identity, location and mission of the red dragon. Otherwise, how could Joshua come to the door so directly and take Evian to the door? Forced to death
In a sense, in the eyes of the dragons, Surarno ruined the plan of the entire five-color dragon army and was the biggest sinner.
When the time comes, the legendary dragon Rytia will be the first to take the lead in hunting him down. At that time, although the continent is vast, there is no place where Surarno can fly.
After confirming that the other party did not have any hostility, Joshua nodded. He waved Hotaru and Rin to sit aside and rest, and then muttered: "Surarno, you can't return to the dragon's camp now, nor can you There is a way to walk freely on the mainland. So, do you plan to stay in the Holy Mountain, or wait until the war is over to return to the empire with me?"
Soldiers have always been so direct, and Blue Dragon has lived for so many years and has encountered many similar beings. He has long been accustomed to this tone, so he immediately replied: "Go back to the empire with you."
This reply was simple and powerful, as if he had already made up his mind. Sularno knew that no matter how complete his surrender was, the Holy Mountain, which had been attacked by the mad dragon, would never truly accept a dragon that had invaded them. On the contrary, it was Joshua's side, and the blue dragon had no time to do so. He was beaten half to death by the soldiers without causing any damage at all. Although it was embarrassing, as long as he showed his sincerity and loyalty, he would never be discriminated against in the empire.
In Joshua's eyes, the Blue Dragon's system information had begun to emerge, but the warrior did not take a closer look. After roughly confirming that the opponent's camp had indeed changed from hostile to neutral, and even recruiting options appeared, he nodded and said. : "Well, I happen to have a group of baby dragons in my territory that need to be taken care of. We really need an adult dragon."
When he said this, Joshua turned his head and looked at the black dragon girl who was still lying beside the bed. His expression froze for a moment, and then he sighed: "I thought too much before... I can't expect her to do anything. .”
After Surarno heard this, his face could not help but stiffen, and he asked cautiously: "Excuse me, Lord Earl, how many baby dragons are there?"
"Probably... a dozen or twenty." Joshua thought for a while, but couldn't determine the specific number of young dragons. He shrugged and said: "Besides that, there should be some Warcraft mounts. They will all be yours then. Don’t worry about the work, it’s not onerous, it’s quite easy.”
Twenty baby dragons? That kind of terrifying creature that only needs two heads to destroy an entire nest, and a large number of them can give the owner of the dragon's nest a nervous breakdown? Where did Joshua, a dragon slayer, find twenty young dragons? !
Surarno didn't feel relaxed at all. His face was full of shock and surprise. Since he was born, he has been traveling around the world. Let alone taking care of baby dragons, he has never even encountered a female dragon. No experience at all. Blue Dragon originally planned to refuse this task which was too difficult for him, but after thinking about his current situation and the strength of the warriors in front of him, he could only accept it with a bitter look on his face: "Okay."
Just two words, the sound was bitter.
And a few days later, on the other side of the world.
Northern Empire.
The latest battle report of the Wild Dragon War in the Far South has spread throughout the southern fortress, throughout the imperial capital, throughout the Northland and any noble territory with a little bit of strength.
Israel's involvement in the dragon disaster had long been spread secretly and was known to many nobles, so no one was surprised by the appearance of the ruler of the empire. However, in praising His Majesty the Emperor for being invincible, even the legendary dragon While they were vulnerable, many keen people also noticed that there was another Imperial person's name on the battle report.
His name was unexpectedly prominent, even as much as Israel's.
—Joshua Van Radcliffe.
This name is known to any noble who is a little bit enterprising and is not just living and sleeping in the territory. As the youngest extremely powerful person in history, many people have regarded him as a benchmark for educating the children of the clan. "Earl Radcliffe was already an extremely strong man when he was twenty-three years old, and now you haven't even touched the golden barrier." This sentence has long become a model sentence, and is being reprimanded by most nobles. Used when one's own descendants.
Going deep into the abyss and fighting the Mad Dragon Legion head-on, the Seven Sacred Mountains did not hide anything. They recorded all the soldiers' achievements and then spread them out. Now some good people are even surprised and calculating how many people Joshua killed on the Holy Mountain. Dragon, as a result, if the flying dragons and giant dragons affected by the aftermath are counted as warrior achievements, then he is the most powerful dragon slayer in history.
Over a hundred giant dragons, thousands of flying dragons, two Ultimate Black Dragons, one Ultimate Red Dragon, and one Ultimate Ultimate Blue Dragon captured... This kind of achievement has never been seen in the thousand-year history of the four major gathering places of mankind. Comparable to this, even the Sky Dragon Rider Israel and the ancestors of the Diamond royal family in the past tamed the dragon when it was weak and then trained it to become a legend, which is not a serious record.
Saint Giorgios, the most famous dragon slayer in the Holy Mountain, just killed a supreme dragon when he was young, then defeated a legendary dragon head-on, and forced it to escape into the void, where he would never die. Dare to return to Mycroft's world. Although this is powerful, it cannot be compared with the current warrior's record.
Although the news spread quickly, the time it appeared was too short, and the consequences are still fermenting, but there is no doubt that Joshua has indeed spread his reputation to the entire Mycroft continent this time. Except for the Northern Empire, Xishan's Many warlock countries, major magician organizations and city-states in the Eastern Plains also know the news. For this warrior who is almost certain to be promoted to a legend, any force spares no effort and sends as many people as possible to investigate and analyze. , and some forces and organizations secretly targeting the Northern Empire are also looming, and they don't know whether they should take action now or continue to lurk and wait for the opportunity.
At the same time, in the main city of Moldavia, Miss Wingman with long dark blue hair was sitting on a soft velvet cushion in the Lord's Mansion, holding a book in her hand and telling stories to the two little girls in front of her.
No. 3 was wearing a white gauze skirt, exposing her slender arms and calves. She was reading the contents of the book in a soft voice, her eyes as bright as blue stars.
In front of her, the two daughters of Verdani and Brandon were hugging pillows and seat cushions, listening with interest to the story told by the young lady in front of them.
"... Eredar knows that this war is over, at least for him, but for some, it has just begun."
After exhaling, the artificial intelligence closed the book in her hand. It took her three full afternoons to finally finish "The Legend of the Wind", a long war memoir. As the protagonist, the half-elf Eredar, who loves freedom and life, left his hometown and devoted himself to the southern swamps and the battlefield of the lizardmen. While fighting the ferocious enemies, the half-elf gradually discovered the conspiracy behind the war... All in all , this is an extremely obscure memoir-style novel. No. 3 himself found it a bit difficult to understand when reading it, and he really wondered why these two little girls liked such a story.
"Hey, is it gone?" On the side, a girl with long blond hair was lying on the ground, rolling in dissatisfaction and yelling: "Didn't you say it's just the beginning?"
"Flan, what sister No. 3 said was 'but for some people, it's just the beginning', not just the beginning." Beside the blonde girl, there was a short violet hair, and the older-looking girl It was a majestic lesson: "Listen carefully to other people's stories... Ah! What are you doing!"
Miss Artificial Intelligence looked at the little girls fighting in front of her and couldn't help but sigh in a very humane manner.
Because there were rumors of prehistoric ruins in the Moldova Territory, spellcasters and explorers from the entire northern empire came in an endless stream, including many powerful mercenaries and unknown people from other countries with hidden agendas. In order to Concerned about the safety of the two sisters, the couple sent them to Moldavia and asked Nostradamus and No. 3 to take care of them.
Leah, the elder sister, and Fran, the younger sister, have very different personalities. One is calm and the other is lively. But for some reason, they both like novels about wars and battles. Whether they are memoirs or adventure diaries, they both listen to them with gusto. One wonders whether these two usually lonely little guys are listening to stories or enjoying the atmosphere of someone telling stories.
"Speak of it."
The two sisters who were having a fight had sat back down and sorted out their scattered clothes. The blonde girl tightened her hairband and asked No. 3 curiously: "Sister, what kind of stories do you like?"
"Me?" Miss Artificial Intelligence was not surprised by this question. The little girl's curiosity has always been like this. She thought for a while and then replied with a smile: "I like human stories... Of course, in the end, What I like most is adventure stories.”
"What kind of adventure story?"
This time it was the elder sister's turn to ask questions. The two sisters sat down next to No. 3, and No. 3 gently spread out her magic stance, and then 'hugged' the two of them with her projected arms: "I like all kinds of adventures... especially… "
Especially, adventure stories that happen to someone far, far away.
